SKIRT AND SUIT HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 24, 1907.

Application filed February 19,1906. Serial No. 301,812.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL A. WEDMoRE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirtand Suit Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to supports for skirts, or like apparel; it isformed of wire in ornamental form and of strong construction; there aremultiple supports for various waist sizes of garments, and it is adaptedto be suspended close up to the inner top of a closet, wardrobe or theend of a suit case, to economize the space.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in whichsimilar parts bear similar characters of reference, in which Figure 1 isan elevation view.

By reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that the supporter is formed oftwo pieces of wire,. one piece being formed into a suspension hook Ithen carried down and at 2 it is intertwined with wire 3 for somedistance when each wire is outwardly curved at 4, then each with a longsweep 5 curves upwardly and outwardly and is doubled at 6 and thereafteroppositely bent, at

78, 910, l112, 13-14, these bends form upwardly tending supports 16, 17,18, 19 whereon the supported garments are suspended, 19 being for smallwaist skirts and 16 for large waist skirts, while 17, 18 are forintermediate sizes. After bends 14 the wires are carried inward at 20 topoints beyond bends 4, where at 21 they are bent around parts 5, 20 andsecure all parts rigidly together. This construction enables eachgarment to be independently supported.

As both sides are alike, or duplicates, after leaving curves 4, only oneside has been described and marked with reference characters.

I claim:

1. In a garment hanger, two wires twisted together to form a centralsupport, each wire thereafter outwardly and upwardly curved and formedin opposite pairs of loops, each pair of loops being of decreasedextension until reaching a point opposite said support, when each wireis carried inwardly to a point beyond the central support, and loopedaround the opposite wire.

2. In a, garment hanger, a pair of wires intertwined to form a centralsupport, then bent inopposite upwardly and outwardly directions, thenformed into supporting loops each pair of which is of a diflerent degreeof exten sion, the wires at the lower loops being extended to andclusping the opposite one beyond the twisted part.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

DANIEL A. WEDMORE.
